Having just spent 170 pounds on tickets this morning to see the Blue Nile, it made me wonder..what's the most you've ever spent on going to a concert?

For me it'd probably seeing a lady called Happy Rhodes just a few months back.

I flew to Boston from the UK, arrived in the morning and attended the concert that evening, then flew back the following morning, cost me about five hundred pounds.

Everyone said I was crazy.

It was something like $80 - $100 for.....Guess who well worth the money though

fuck, I spent $400 on tickets - 4 tickets!!!!!



I am

$200 to see the Pixies first show in 10 years in a little club in Mpls. Tickets were only about $20 but they sold out in 5 minutes and I had to find someone to sell me a way in.

I don't even know. I have seen many concerts abroad, so I have spend loads of money for seeing my favourite artists. But I do know that Prince is on the first 3 or so places for money I spent on concerts that got cancelled .

£40 to see Gary Numan
£180 to see Nine Inch Nails (although it was reading festival and there were other bands I wanted to see; but I *had* to get a ticket when I saw NIN there)

about $700 - $800 aus dollars to see noiseworks

about $20 4 actual show- and the rest was the extra money i spent to extend my time in south australia to see them

then a certain musician announced his 1st oz tour - and i was broke

I've always been able to find deals when there was a show I really wanted to see...but I left it up to my best friend to get us tickets for the Van Halen show last weekend...they were $140...the people nest to me only paid $74...I love Van Halen but $140 was a lil' too high for where our seats were...

Not counting the many Prince shows I've gone to and how much money has gone into that nutter's pockets, I think I spent about $160 to see the Cream reunion in London at the Royal Albert Hall.

It was totally worth it though.

150 or so each for the Purple shrimp, it was a great show though.


I have my own little rating system in my head to determine how much is too much. Erin and I are going to see The Roots for $36 each and George Thorogood and the Destroyers for $50 each. That includes Ticketmasters outrageous charges. Both WELL worth it IMO.

$110 to see Prince

I paid $150 each to see Prince and Janet Jackson at Madison Square Garden (face value). I also paid $150 to see Tori Amos at Hammerstein Ballroom, but that was an inflated ebay price after the show sold out in -30 seconds.

about € 600 for two people for that little man with his guitar ... show + aftershow + a weekend in London ... worth it.

Wow... I thought I was in Prince M&M there for a minute...

$140 to see Jay Z. Was worth every single cent. I would've handed the damn money to him!

back.away.slowly.

I would say it was to see Tamar, when Prince was playing guitar. The ticket was only $20 - $30, but I had to stand in line five hours before they started playing. They didn't finish until 2:00 AM, and I didn't get to bed until 3:30 AM. Then, I had a 9:00 kiddie basketball game to coach.

Put it all together, and this old man paid a high price, indeed!

About 800 bucks to see Prince NYE last year. This included a table and the aftershow. Worth.every.cent.

I spent $150 to see Prince and I got more than my money's worth.

For a ticket alone, $165 or so (whatever P's last show in SF cost)... but if you factor in flying out & all that shit it's probably at least $800: flight to Minni, hotel, rental car, 2 aftershows @ PP. Totally worth it

£130 for the final night of the 21 nights 02 tour plus another £20 to park! Steep considering I 'only' paid £120 to see him earlier on the tour, and that was for ticket plus 4 star hotel.

I was trying to get out as quick as possible, then I saw that I was still in GD.

nothing.

well at the precise moment. no because, i always been invited to the concert i've been to. never like the bands thought that i went to see.

first i saw dream theatre and "yes"..it was alright. prog-rock is somewhat fun.

then i went to go see, gwar. thats was fun. except a couple of the manson's kids behind, could not stop talking about manson.

I spent way too much on that has been named Prince.
